In the Late Permian, a volcanic region in India called the Deccan Traps formed, pumping large amounts of gases into Earth's atmosphere. These created a greenhouse effect, raising global temperatures. This is known as the End Permian Extinction.
By the Permian-Triassic boundary, 250 million years ago, vast deserts covered the planet. Over 90 percent of all animal species on Earth had died out.

Uniformitarianism is a basic principle of modern geology and physics, which have arrived at an age for the Earth of 4.54 billion years, plus or minus 45 million years.
Scientists believe snails started evolving around 5 million years ago, around the Cambrian period.
that it was magma about 210 million and 100 million years ago.
Scientists believe there have been cockroaches on Earth for at least 280 million years. They have discovered fossils from that long ago.
Scientists believe that the first humans lived 4.4 million years ago in Ethiopia. Christians believe that God put the first humans on Earth a few thousand years ago.

Geologists and other related Earth scientists have estimated the age of the Earth to be approximately 4.65 Billion years old based on a wide variety of scientific experiments and data.
